Confiiet Retween Courts.

Atlanta, Ca. April 15-There is q
conflict OF jurisdiction between the state
end federal courts in Georgia which is
likely to assume considerable import
ance, Wm..M. Miller runs o distlliery
in Dakota county which he refused to
close In obedience to the prohibition law.
He was indicted therefor by Judge
CLARK and was on trial when by q writ
of habeas corpus he was taken from that
court and the case transferred to the
federal court. This caused Judge Clark
to write q letter to Gov, Gordon in
which he denoupces the action OF Judge
Paraee as an infringement on state
and aeks that the state take
measures to protect itself against such
encroachmept. He said: "As I under
stand it, it is q sin against the very al
phabet of the law to convert the writ of
habeas corpus into a continuance for
defeating q criminal trial" The state
will appear as a party to the case in
Judge Pardee's court and claim jurisdie-
tion OF the prisoner.

this afternoon, and wrought devastation
oyer a country extending from st. Glars
vile, O, ten miles west to o point as far
east as this city. Little damage was
done here, the high hills en- both sides
of the river sheltering the houses, but
the commotiOn in b upper cir was
noticed, and q few roofs We're damaged.
The STERN frst struck 1T. OlairsYille.
demolishing two brick houses belonging
to Col. Patton and Judge Cochran, west
of town, and a frame house belonging
to q man named Coleman. A large
mansion on the corner of Marette
and Main streets was out off clean

Martins Ferry, IN the opposite side
of the river, at the north end of town,
suffered even more severely than st
Oiairsvlile. Here the broad valley gave
direction to the destroying gale, which
licked up forest and farm houses, and
scattered fences in it's path down the
hollow, widening out as it struck the
little city and scattering destruction
everywhsre. The Elston Glass works
had one brick building blown down or
the hill. and the brick residence of J.. FL
brennan editor of the News, was sc
badly used up that not one brick wat

Balky Horses.

The Farmers Qrish) Gazette gives the
following different ways of treating bulky
horses which are recommended for trial.
First, pat the horse on the neck, ex
anime him carefully first one side, then
the other; if you can get him hand
full of grass, give it to him and speak en-
couragingly to him. Them Jump into
the wagon and give the word go, and. he
will generally obey Second, taking
the horse out of the shafts, and turning
him round in circle until he is giddy,
will generally start him Third another
way to cure balky horse is, place your
hand over his nose and shut off his wind
until he wants to go. Fourth, then again
take couple of turns of stout Irvine
around the fore legs, just below the knee
tight enough for the horse to feel it; tie
IN bow knot. At the first click he will
probably go dancing off. After going
a short distance you can get out and re-
move the string. to ent..injury to the
tendons. Fifth, again you can try the
following: Take the tail of horse be-
tween the hind legs, and tie it by cord
to the saddle girth. Sixth, the last
remedy know is as follows: Tie string
around the horses ear, close to head.
This will divert his attention. and start
him.

A Great Cattle Range.

The great plateau between the Rocky
mountains and the Sierras comprising
the Territory of Utah and State of Ne
vada, is apparently destined to become
the greatest cattle range in the country.
Already immense tracts Of land, some
embracing nearly $4,000 acres, have
been purchased, and owners of large
herds in Texas and Southwestern states
are looking for ranges in this wide Sec
ton Of natural pasture land. The pres
sure of settlers who wish to engage in
agricultural and found homes upon the
lands in the great fertile plains of the
West and South has been to crowd out
the cattle kings who have for years mo-
nopolized the largestparts of the states
which by nature are better fitted for
raising crops than the pasturage of
herds. Thus there has begun hegira
of cattlemen toward the West, which
bids fair to aid materially in the devel.
opement Of those great sections Of our
country that have hitherto been left al
most exclusively in the hands of Indi-
ans and peripatetic gold hunters. This
movement of stockmen toward the west
is a matter of considerable Importance
to the people of this coast, for the re-
gion that will be appropriated by them
is by nature tributary to California,
and should be benefited by the estab.
lishment of great moneyed lnterestes
in a locality from which up to this time
little benefit compared with the extent
of country has been derived. The cat
tlemcn also are the precursors of the
husbandman, who, when country has
become to sane extent settled, would
readily seek in it an opportunities fo1
agriculture and it. may confdentially
be EXPECTED that there will, before many
years are passed, be more agricultural
land discovered in Utah and Nevada thar
has been believed to exist there.

From the Boston Transcript.

Once upon time there was large
house in a leading line of trade which
had among its customers man who all
the clerks and the members of the firm
agreed was the meanest man in the
United States. 1t panied them very
much to admit it, but he was a large
purchaser and prompt payer when
convinced that the firm and employees
had not entered into conspiracy to
defraud him. He used to please the
book-keeper very much by bringing up
an itemized account of his own, which
he insisted on comparing, item by Item,
with the charges on the book. After
one of these examinations, when a set
Element had been reached, and check
given in payment by the firm for goods
which they in turn had purchased Of
the mean man, it was found that he
had cheated himself out of $40. He
had left the store, and it was only by
the aid Of special messenger that he
was capturrd and brought back. The
The head book-keeper said a slight
error had been detected in the account.
The mean mans face heightened. He
thought he was called upon to pay
back. ooh, the errors in your favor!'
remarked the book-keeper; "and if
you II treat the boys in the counting
room with me, I'll see that you get
your money all right Nobody knows
how much it is, or anything about it,
but me, and if you won treat 1 shan t
say any more to you, and let you lose
it if you will. !"
The mean man was in great dis
tress. He went to the members of the
firm, but they knew what was up, and
professed inability to see justice done
except upon the terms laid down by the
book-keeper.
You'll want lot of money spent
on your treat" said the mean man.
"Ill agree you shan't be called upon
to put out more thana dollar.
The party then sailed out, and at the
mean man S expense got outside of sew
eral sherry cobblers. Then the mean
man paid the bar-keeper 81, and the
book-keeper told the unwilling enter.
tainer that the error was $40 in his ia.
vor, and passed him over crisp X.
A shade of sadness, mingled with a
flash of anger on the mean mans coun-
tenance.
"Ten per cent for accommodation
call pretty high" he remarked. But
the others didn' care They felt that
thew had ACCOMPLISHED a miracle.

A Stable Population.

A Kansas paper says that ''the Kan
sas frontier has moved over into Colo
rado," and this,the Great Bend Graph
ic interprets to mean that the pioneers,
who are forever on the move, have
moved so far west now that they have
gone clear out of the state, and given
place to the permanent settler. Upon
such condition of affairs our state has
cause to congratulate herself. The
rowing pioneer is man of great useful
ness in new country. He opens it up
and shows its capabilities to the world.
But he is not to be depended upon for
building it up. It is the man who
comes to stay, who is depended upon
to make permanent improvements, to
build houses and barns, plant groves
and orchards and to urge and assist the
building of railroads. The sod house
is good enough for the gypsy7ike pi-
oneer, but the permanent settler is new
er satisfied until he has a house as good
as those he has left among the hills Of
the east. He must have the other con-
veniences he left behind him, too, and,
therefore, it is. that in all parts of Kan
sas improvements are being made at a
rate that is beyond the comprehension
of the people of the east. A year
shows changes here that fifty would
scarcely accomplish in the eastern and
middle states. In many sections Of
the state improvements have been
made at rate that the population did
not seem to warrant, but our people
have had no fear. They knew that ev-
cry such improvement adds to the
wealth of the country and attracts set
tiers, and that they would very soon
pay for themselves.
The settler who comes here now, will
find a country filled with railroads, ey-
cry part of the state as easy Of access
as any equal area In the east, and right
along side Of these railroads, rich prai-
RE lands that can be bought for one
tenth what lands equally near to mar
kets in the east would cost. And
when he settles upon one of these Kan
sas farms he finds that he can live
much easier, much better and much
longer than among the hills and stumps
and rocks of the farms Of the east
